[QUOTE="lmf64, post: 297897, member: 7736"] I am one of those in between generation kids. My mom is the oldest of her generation and I am the oldest of my generation. Mom was 17 when I was born and she has an uncle 6 months older than her and cousins younger than I am. I have always called all of them (both generations) my cousins. We are a very close family, both in relationships and location. There are 500 of us in this county. Grandma (my great, but we all call her Grandma) had 13 sons and they all stayed right here. It gets even weirder. Like I said my mom has an uncle 6 months older than she is. Her grandma (her mom's mom) passed away when he was not quite 5. My mom's dad died in an accident when she was 4, or about the same time. My great grandpa had 6 kids still at home and worked on the railroad. Well, for my grandma to be able to take her younger brothers and sisters in she had to be married, so she married the man I've always called my grandpa. He was my 'real' grandpa's brother. So my grandpa is really my great uncle. It gets confusing for some people when I'm talking about my cousins (1st, 2nd, 1st once removed etc). Last week we went to one of my cousins wedding (her dad is my mom's 1st cousin) and difficult child asked who was who. I was trying to explain the relationships to him. He finally said 'we're all blood right' I said yes and he said well than that's all I need to know. lol [/QUOTE]
